Mason Clark, DCHS Sophomore: Physical Health Sub-Group

The room we walked into was full of influential people. City commissioners, CEOs, and other leaders from all around town were there to give their input. The amazing part of the meeting was that they cared what us six high school students thought about our community. We talked and shared ideas about what we want Owensboro to look like. No smoking, a healthy vibe from society, more physical activity were all ideas we wanted to see implemented. It's not going to be easy, and it will be a lot of work, but we are laying the foundation for Owensboro to become a healthier place to live.
